Scafom-rux Germany

What Scafom-rux Germany does

Scafom-rux GmbH is a German manufacturer and supplier of modular scaffolding systems headquartered in Hagen, Germany, with operations tracing to 1964 and over 60 years of scaffolding industry experience. The company designs, produces, and distributes the RINGSCAFF ringlock modular scaffold — built around a proprietary rosette connector that supports loads up to 6 kN per m² and roof spans up to 40 meters — alongside the SUPER-RS modular facade scaffolding system, weather protection solutions, building-site protection products (SCAFFGUARD cladding, SCAFFPLANK boarding, tarpaulins and nets), and construction lifts (HD 24-7G and Superlift MX 1024) distributed under an exclusive partnership with Böcker. RINGSCAFF is DIBT-approved for mixing with up to three other manufacturers' systems without requiring static recalculation, providing interoperability advantages in mixed customer fleets.

The company generates revenue through direct hardware sales, software products (SCAFFMAX planning software, CP-PRO end-to-end scaffolding software, and a mobile Scaffold App), consulting and training services, financing plans, and recurring rental operations conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary Scafom-rux rental GmbH with a 4-week minimum rental term. Distribution combines a sales-led field sales team, inside sales, a nationwide German depot network, an online shop, and 16+ country-specific websites spanning Western Europe, Central Europe, North America, South America, and Asia-Pacific. Customer segments include scaffolding contractors, general construction firms, industrial operators (including offshore and shipbuilding), and public institutions such as the Deutscher Bundestag.

Scafom-rux holds sector certifications including DIBT, EN 16719, EN 12158-1, TRBS 2121, TRGS 727, and fire protection class B1, and operates under three managing directors (Volker Rux, Marco Hiby, Richardus Brinkmann). The company is a privately held German GmbH with no disclosed external institutional investment; it was previously known as Rux GmbH. Headcount in the German entity is recorded at 38 employees.
